-= Outside of the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in Amsterdam, New York an ICWL camera comes on. The camera slowly moves into the building, a large wall filled with gold plaques with the names of the men and women who have been inducted into the it’s walls, names such as Andre The Giant, Lou Thesz, Ed ‘Strangler’ Lewis, Buddy Rodgers, Gorgeous George, and Bruno Sammartino. X-Rated is seen standing in front of the many plaques, with his back to the camera. =-

X-Rated: “Here are the names of the men and women that each and every one of us in this sport strives to be like. These are the names that are infamous and synonymous through out all branches of Professional wrestler. They are the men and women that paved the way for athletes like me to make a living doing what I love to do. Men like Bruno Sammartino, perhaps one of the greatest World Champions in all of professional wrestler, are the reason I got into this sport. One day, I hope to be on that wall right along side of these great men and women. To be inducted in to the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame would be the single greatest honor any wrestler could receive. I know that in my career I have done the very best I can inside the squared circle, to try and leave my mark on Professional wrestling history. I have already made history in the ICWL, I was the fastest rising star in ICWL history, the longest reigning World Champion in ICWL History, the greatest Internet Champion in ICWL, I have already set more records in the time I have been here then anyone else. Now, this week at Knockout I am going to be in the biggest match in recent ICWL history, a match up where the words, match of the year, as already been thrown around. Here we are, 8 months into the year, and a little more the 72 hours before the match up even took place and it’s already making history. If this was a Pay Per View, it would hold the highest buy rates in ICWL history. Four men are set to enter the ring, Two of which are already considered to be among the best to ever grace an ICWL ring, and two that are trying to make there mark. Arsenic, the new ICWL World Heavyweight Champion, a man already on the path to being a house hold name, and Judgement, who has attached himself onto the coattails of the former World Champion, Bane ‘The Dark Angel’ Crow, a man that has made his career out of riding coattails, and stepping on those that helped get him to where he is.”

{X-Rated turns around, he has on a pair of designer sunglasses, a dark green dress shirt and black dress pants..}

X-Rated: “Now you are wondering why I am I here, in the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame when I should maybe be in the gym training, preparing for a match up that has already taken on a life of it’s own. The answer is a simple one, I have come here to try and channel some of wrestling’s greats. These men and women are no stranger to big matches. They have been in some of the biggest matches, of not only their careers’, but in wrestling history. So I figured the best way to get my mind focused on what is being billed the biggest match this year, I would come to the masters. The ICWL, is a small part of Professional wrestling, it has been one of the biggest names in the industry, but it has also be one of the biggest failures. The ICWL has housed some of the biggest names, and many of the names we would much rather forget. See, it’s to easy to get lost in a sea of high caliber of talent, to be over looked, or completely missed, but when you are the True Talent, such as myself all others pale in comparison. Sure Bane is a two time world champion, but look who he has beaten for that right? And most importantly, look who he has beaten to keep it? It’s easy to get lucky, and beat someone worth mentioning, but when you spend the rest of your reign beating people that wont even be a footnote in the history of the ICWL let alone professional wrestling, what’s that say about you as a Champion.”

{X-Rated pauses for a moment, takes a deep breath, clears his throat removes his sunglasses and looks right into the camera.}

X-Rated: “Alright, now let me put what I’m saying into perspective for you, because I don’t want you to be lost. Let’s take Bruno Sammartino for example, perhaps one, if not the, greatest champion in the history of this industry. Why is Bruno Sammartino a great champion? Is it the amount of time he was champion? No, what makes his reign impressive isn’t the amount of time he held the gold, but the names of the people he faced in his career to keep it, people like Fred Blassie, Gorilla Monsoon, Waldo Von Erich, Billy Graham, the list is endless. Bruno Sammartino is remember as a great champion not because he held the world Championship for 8 years, but because in the 8 years he turned away every challenger that tried to take it from him. He didn’t dodge contenders, he didn’t face low life curtain jerker’s, and that’s exactly what Bane has done, for the last 101 days he ran from anyone that posed a real threat. See Bane wants to come out night after night, and call me a mid-carder, to claim that I haven’t earned the name I have, that I haven’t earned my spot, my reputation? Well Bane, he is your chance, here is your first opportunity to prove it. Prove that I am not every single thing that I say I am, that I’m not the Only True Talent in the ICWL! Bane, when I was headlining Pay Per Views, you were still on the ring crew. Well I was sitting high on top of the mountain; you were busy making sure the water was cold in the back. Bane, I want you to listen, and listen closely, you aren’t on the level of the True Talent, and you aren’t worth the paper your check is written on. You can have all your little stepping stones, and stack them one on top of the other, and you still wont even be half the athlete I am, or have half the talent that I posses! So bring Judgement, hell grab the kitchen sink, because it’s not enough, your not going to be able to stop what was already written in the stars many years ago, and that is this…….I AM THE ONLY TRUE TALENT IN THE ICWL, AND ALL OF PROFESSIONAL WRETLING! THEY DON’T COME ANY BETTER THEN ME, AND WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE, WHEN ALL THE DUST HAS CLEARED YOU AND JUDGEMENT WILL BE X-ECUTED JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!!”
